The last 24 hours has been almost a blur. I'm exhausted and Judah decides to wake us up at 4:30 this a.m. to go out. I don't know what time he was on, but it was annoying.

Yesterday -- Okay, yesterday we had to finish the newspaper (finally it's done) and upload it to the publisher. Of course there was something weirdly wrong, a stray line through it that I don't know if I found or not. This literally took all day long and the yearbooks were being sold at the same time, so I'm going back and forth, back and forth. I almost didn't even get to eat lunch. ONe of the girls on the newspaper staff was out sick and didn't get something done, so we're running around trying to get pictures and write copy. It was absolutely insane. At last it is done.

Then I had to go to my bank to work on my mortgage. I can't believe how much I'm saving in closing costs by going to my bank! Literally thousands of dollars. Anyway, I ran there right after school, all agitated from the day and met with the mortgage lady who was incidentally very nice. Then I ran home to fix dinner. I was going to go for a walk but stress was getting the better of me. I just wasn't feeling good. Today, I'm still not feeling great.

Oh yes, and I had several students in my online class who are trying to finish their courses. I teach two of them. They submitted like 60 assignments in the last two days and I had to grade all of those on top of everything else! Wow! That's why I'm exhausted.

Personally I'll be glad next week when the seniors are done. they finish early before all the other students so they get about a week off before graduation. I love them. They are special. Many of them are kids I've had for four years and I really feel motherly toward them. They've cried on my shoulder more than once and I hate to see them go, yet I will shut the door behind them when they leave. Seniors at this time of year are out of control. They're ready to leave and I totally understand, I've raised two sons and lived through their senior years.

Okay, more junk to do. I'll get it done and get back on today. I miss you guys very much. I promise to get back on tonight with a smile and go visit all of you. Later.
